how is this car as a pro-touring starting point?

The first thing I want to do is be able to fit 335's under the rear. Where can I get a mini-tub kit? Which would you recommend? What all will I need to fit those? Best place to get Fikse wheels? Would you go 17" in the back or 18"? How wide would you go? Id like to put 295s up front, 17" Fikse FM5s, but unsure what it takes to fit those 295's up front. Currently it has 275's.

Ok, I figure 18x11 Fikse FM5's on the rear with 335/30ZR18
18x10 Fikse FM5's on the front with 295/35ZR18

How does that sound? About right? Anyone know what bolt pattern I need?

Great deal at 23500. I don't think you will fit 18X10 upfront without an aftermarket subframe. I believe you are maxed out at 18x8 up front. Nine ball is a fikse dealer from this site and would be able to provide more info. I like the black chrome TTII's. I would be interested in them for one of my projects if you want to sell them.

10-4, if everything checks out and I can get some Fikses from him, ill shoot you a PM.

Im debating whether to go 17" or 18".

I definately want 315's minimum in the rear. Id like to go as wide as possible in the front with the current setup, but if that is a 8" rim max, what size tire could I run? 275?

I would go with 18s. There are some cars running a 275s up front. I think most use a 245 and that's what I have. Check out the DSE website for the mini tub. You can run as large as a 345 rear with the g-bar. I use a 335 with the DSE leaf relocation kit. You will need to narrow the rear housing and axles to around 55 inches wheel to wheel. You are looking at a large investment to mini tub and purchase fikse wheels, over 10 grand added to your purchase price just to make those changes.

For $23500 I wouldn't worry to much if something isn't perfect. If the paint and body is in perfect condition it is a steal.

You're not going to get 295's in the front with your current subframe. DSE makes mini tubs for the car. DSE also makes a subframe where you can go as high as 285-295 in the front. CAR makes a subframe where you can use 315's in the front.

then ill stick with 275's up front.
